I think you meant to say Winter Park for the Trader Joe's on your comment here that also has a Whole Foods and a flagship Publix at Winter Park Village that has a Starbucks and an Aprons cooking school inside. There are also a number of butcher shops in the area including Lombardi's Seafood, The Local Butcher, Antonio's, Orlando Meats, and a Wild Fork opening up in a few months. Other supermarket options in the area include Fresh Market, Aldi, and Sprouts.

If the CA transplants live in Winter Park, it will be a bit of a commute to Lake Nona , at least a 40 min drive and that is not including busy traffic. WP is next to Eatonville, which is not a safe neighborhood in Central Florida.I think you meant to say Winter Park for the Trader Joe's on your comment here that also has a Whole Foods and a flagship Publix at Winter Park Village that has a Starbucks and a cooking school inside.

Has the Fresh Market become a full fledged supermarket now? I realize that term is fluid, but I haven't been in one in years. In its original incarnation, before it expanded across half the US, it was a gourmet food market. They didn't really sell household products like cleaning supplies etc. and most of the prepackaged food they sold was either made on-site or was small gourmet brands you wouldn't find in a standard supermarket.

Fresh Market is still a gourmet food market that is missing most of the "middle aisle" items.
For the other comment, the town of Eatonville is where Zora Neale Hurston grew up that wrote "Their Eyes Were Watching God". Each February, the town of Eatonville has a festival celebrating the author:

Eatonville is also where the Tesla dealership is located: https://www.tesla.com/findus/location/service/orlando

Eatonville next to Winter Park does food well in one place , check out Soul Food Fantasy, oxtail with collard greens and corn bread .Fresh Market is still a gourmet food market that is missing most of the "middle aisle" items.

Yep, good catch - it gets a little confusing with a Winter Park, Winter Garden, and Winter Haven (have been to all three!).I think you meant to say Winter Park for the Trader Joe's on your comment here that also has a Whole Foods and a flagship Publix at Winter Park Village that has a Starbucks and an Aprons cooking school inside.

Winter Park is easily my favorite from what I've seen, very beautiful neighborhood with lots of great spots.
Only downside to it would be the longer drive to the theme parks, but not a terrible one.

Ca transplants will enjoy the FL driving distances and traffic after their previous experiences In Ca.
When they called my wife an S-word, they may as well have bitten.
We think alike. In Miami and most of South Florida we think the same way.
Thanks for clarifying.

May I please add this:
Arts: I have no way to list our arts scene, and I thank Disney for planting the seed. Fringe Festival (First, longest and largest in the US), Immerse (Creative City Project - http://www.creativecityproject.com/), Orlando Phil (Yuja Wang came here!), Orlando Ballet (affiliate of American Ballet Theatre and annually have winners in the YAGP), Dr Phillips PAC (we have one of the few N1 acoustic rated halls in the world), Timacua Arts (Thank you Benoit). There is so much more…. Again not enough time to do everything. Btw during COVID downtown had a walking performance, socially distanced, masked, through the streets. Loved the creativity. Oh, wait there’s stuff at Disney

When I lived in Central FL, I knew some hourly CMs that worked in the park that did this. They lived in the East Volusia area (between 95 and the beach). At the time it seemed like a long way to go.
Actually it still does.

The executives of course need solid cherrywood furniture to display their Macbook Pro's,

After almost thirty years of destruction between Eisner, Strategic Planning, Rasulo, Iger’s Franchise mandate and now Chapek, WDI isn’t really much to write home about.
Keep what’s worth saving, R&D and archives, and do a hard restart on the entire organization.

Not sure where to point the finger- or if that is even productive at this point. I think your spot on with the rest…

I thought WDI was history already, just a few executives and a bunch of contract administrators to hire so called ‘creatives’. You dont think that Tony Baxter, Eddie Sotto and Joe Rohde really wanted to leave do you. But the Bob’s collectively ran them out of town.
On a clear night anyone in Central FL can see a launch. My favorite sighting was when I was in the middle of Hollywood Blvd at DHS in the early 2000s. At 8pm there was a sonic boom and the clear night sky lit up and the shuttle launched into space. Many on the street including me were clapping and cheering. Some fellow guests were even crying.Brevard County is closer.
